The only website I've found so far with that image is http://razorgator.razor-gator.com/razor_gator_top_ten.htm
and it even uses the 'ytmnd' sound clip on a mouse over, so I dont think this is the original but it is a small step.

This image is from 1998, during the time of The Avengers. It's the only time in the last 12 years he's not had his beard, and just the mustache. I don't know the exact source, but I've got a time period for it.

A corbis.com search for "connery cannes 99 entrapment photocall" gives more images, but still not that one. The border around it makes it look like it's from an online news story (the NY Times or something).

It's no big deal, but neither are most of the other things YTMND gets all worked up about...I liked it, it was interesting, well made, and the shield made me laugh and also realize that it's partly true. 5.

On further research, I can comclude that the famous Connery photo does take place to the right of this pic(already posted btw)

look at the background.
Now look at the background of the famous ytmnd

The same builing is in both pictures. This is a small revelation, but a revelation none the less. It proves the pic was taken very close to the time the first pic was taken.

"isnt it from the movie that the quote "You're the man now, dog!" is from?" NO. The picture and sound do NOT match (an odd quirk of the site), and some of the links in the comments here pretty much prove they are from different places and times, since they show Connery at a premiere event with the same clothes and background.

So what do we have so far.. It's from cannes festival 1999, with sean connery and catherine zeta-jones respresenting the movie "Entrapment". There is 30,100 founds when you google pictures of Sean Connery, we just have a sh*tload of pictures to go through; but we will find it. Max found it on Google and we will too.

http://www.allstarpl.co.uk/shared/search3.cfm?category=enttain&name=SEAN%20CONNERY&page=enttain Check out the pictures from 24 May 1999, it's exactly the position where the original picture is from. BUT THEY DONT HAVE THAT EXACT PICTURE.

"It's hard to explain what YTMND is without giving you a little bit of history. In 2001 I saw a trailer for "Finding Forrester" in which Sean Connery declares the legendary line "You're the man now dog!".
It's from the Finding Forrester trailer.

Hey mach-rider, why don't you grow the f*ck up? Are you honestly that stupid? You actually think that we are THAT serious about this missing picture? Did it ever occur to you that, while it is strange that the picture has gone missing, this is more of a joke than anything else?

Found It.

Since the form method is buggy for the site, try finding it in the thumbs...the series follows these:

the bigger pictures require regist

downvoters fail hard. you should realize the awesomeness of this YTMND and embrace it. let's not be whiney *ssholes. this man put work into this ytmnd, so you should shut up and stop downvoting. downvoting wins you no friends.

a couple years ago there was massive flooding in prague, i believe it was... anyways sean connery went there to help or speak out or whatever, and i believe the picture is connected to that... but ive been wrong before

Photo was most likely taken at the Cannes Film Festival in May of 1999. Going here:

and checking out the bottom few rows or so reveals the outfit and pieces of the background. I think "barson" is the name of the photographer..

In the words of Lex Luthor...
NO WRONG
With "yourethemannowdog.ytmnd.com"
at $336.76 of donations, I don't think anyone that cares is going to forget. And those who don't won't even understand why the unhumbling photo of Connery is on his profile anyway.
